About

A rules-based, daily global rotation that rides uptrends in emerging markets, China, and US tech, shifts to cash/bonds/hedges when risk rises, and occasionally buys dips. Uses leveraged and inverse ETFs with multiple risk-on/off gates to manage drawdowns.
NutHow it works
- For each country and region, it checks if prices are rising and not overheated; if so, it owns that market’s ETF. - If a market is too hot or rolls over, it pivots to safety: cash-like T‑bills, US Treasuries, market‑neutral (BTAL), or short ETFs (SH/PSQ). - When things look washed out, it may buy the dip from a curated list. - Special EM/China and US‑tech blocks add or remove leverage based on bond‑vs‑stock strength and short‑term trend checks.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample stats show this strategy beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted returns, with tighter drawdowns thanks to a global trend-following and dip-buying approach, EM/China tilt, and layered hedges that protect when risk rises.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
